Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the provision of family accommodation as part of the housing mix to create and maintain balanced communities
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to living space
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents
What decided it
The proposed development would result in the loss of a dwelling suitable for family accommodation in an area already suffering from an imbalance in housing mix, and would fail to provide adequate living space for future occupiers, conflicting with the development plan.
